Kelechi Iheanacho continued his strong form for Sevilla in the Copa del Rey, scoring a goal in their 3-1 victory over UE Olot on Thursday, reports Nigeriasoccernet.com.
This goal marks Iheanacho's third in the competition for the Spanish club. The Nigerian international had previously scored a brace in Sevilla’s 3-0 win over Las Rozas in the first round of the competition in October.
In Thursday's match, Iheanacho sealed his side’s 3-0 lead with a goal in the 73rd minute, although the lower-division side managed to pull one back in the final moments of the match (92nd minute). Despite his success in the Copa del Rey, Iheanacho has yet to score in La Liga, having made seven appearances for the club since his summer transfer from Leicester City.
